Quick 2 Week Surf Session Update

Besides doing BirdSwell, I am also a graphic design consultant. Lately, I have been really busy designing for all my clients which has been great! Designing and Surfing are my two favorite things to do! 

Anyway, May and June have been windy, but there have been a few great sessions.

Here is an update of the past 2 weeks.

5/30
Jacob and I were being lazy all day long for Memorial Day, but decided to go for a sunset session. We ended up at Bunnies beach and caught some really great waves. There was only one other person out with us.

Jacob and I hit Linda Mar and the waves were ok.

Jacob's temporary co-worker, Jonas (from Sweden) really wanted to try surfing before he returned home. We took him to the Jetty along with Monty. Monty was here about 2 months ago but recently moved here because Jacob recruited him from his old work in Boston to his new work in SF. He just arrived 2 weeks ago. He plans to surf with us a lot so he can get better since he is a beginner.  Nikki, Cynthia, and Denise (my colleague) also joined us.

The waves at the Jetty were horrible. We lasted for about 45 minutes and then Jonas, Monty, Jacob and I ended surfing at LM with really fun but crowded waves. Jonas said he really enjoyed surfing and was really tired after surfing for 4 hours. 

6/8
We were suppose to meet up with Amanda but LM was blown out. She decided to skip and go into work instead. Jacob and I went to the Jetty and there were a couple good waves but nothing too exciting.

6/12
We went to Santa Cruz with Monty and met up with a new friend, Nicole. She just picked up surfing in January and is still learning. When we got to Santa Cruz the waves were beautiful. We got in right away and we stayed in for 4.5 hours catching waist to chest high glassy surf. It was really crowded, but we managed to catch a ton of waves. We also saw Denise, Sarah, Kyle and Jonathan in the line up.

It was one of the best surf sessions I have had in awhile. Lots of paddling, but lots of fun longboard rides. I am never disappointed when I surf in Santa Cruz. FUN TIMES!

Ride Waves and Spread the Swell,
